Esker, a worldwide leader in AI-driven document process automation solutions and pioneer in cloud computing, announced that Fuji Xerox, a leading solutions provider in document services and communications, will market Esker’s cloud-based Accounts Payable automation solution as part of Fuji Xerox’s offering to optimize accounts payable (AP) management processes in Japan, and soon in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

This partnership enables Esker to expand its geographic reach in Asia and deliver intelligent process automation solutions to businesses. The two companies already collaborate in New Zealand where the AP solution was first introduced by Fuji Xerox New Zealand to customers in the construction, retail, business and education industries.

As part of the agreement, the solution will be marketed by Fuji Xerox along with consultation, implementation and support provided by Fuji Xerox.

“Fuji Xerox is thrilled to partner with leading process automation provider Esker,” said Toshiharu Yoneyama, corporate VP and executive GM, Smart Work Innovation Business Group, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. “Combining Esker’s innovation and Fuji Xerox’s expertise in document solutions will enable us to provide our customers with an AP experience like never before.”

“As one of the most well-known technology companies in Asia, Fuji Xerox offers the sales, support and consulting services we were looking for to help grow our customer base and facilitate expansion into new regions like Japan,” said Jean-Michel Bérard, CEO at Esker. “Together, through this strategic partnership, we will help companies increase AP process efficiency and improve cash flow performance.”
